Announcements

Simple Query Report Now Available: As of January 30th, 2015, provider agency Superusers can access the Simple Query Report under the reports tab after logging into the system. This expanded outcomes dashboard includes demographics of the population served, treatment demographics, substance use, employment, education, housing, maternal/perinatal outcomes, and service needs/satisfaction.

Interview Method Report Now Available: As of February 4th, 2015, LME/MCO and provider agency Superusers can access the Interview Method Report under the reports tab after logging into the system. This report dashboard allows the Superuser access to aggregate data of how interviews are conducted. Interview method questions from Section II and Section III are reflected in this report and the report has export data functionality (data can be downloaded in a csv file). When data is not gathered directly from the consumer, there is a missed opportunity to collect outcome information related to emotional well-being, physical health, recovery supports and the helpfulness of the program. The Interview Method Report will allow Superusers the ability to monitor how interviews are being conducted and implement improvement initiatives when necessary.
